Their is only so much you can say on an open Forum, also once said, you cannot take back.
Proxy votes, democratic or not? I do not think, (unless someone is ill), proxy votes should be allowed. Their are only (approx') 50 members at my club, I have only seen (approx') 20 people in 5 years, of these probably a dozen sail. |

Proxy votes? No.
I suspect from what I've heard over the last few years, your club has a unique set of issues, so maybe our stock advice isn't as simple to put into practice as it might be at my club, for instance. |

Sorry but if you think minutes = transparency you are underestimating the editorial power of the minute-taker. I can't see very few justifications from barring members from attending meetings as listeners if they want to. That's how local government is required by law to conduct its meetings. Staff disciplinary matters might be an example of a meeting that should be held privately, something that comes up rather rarely I imagine. |

It is indeed, but those meetings are mainly for show and political posturing. Just about all the real decision making is worked out beforehand between executives and senior politicians. The real power is not so much deciding between option A or option B, but in deciding what is actually in option A and option B. Edited by JimC - 23 Jan 16 at 1:36pm |

In my experience local council committees aren't so well organised as to have decided everything in advance. Except, perhaps, on major matters.

Our Commodore probably did half the duties last year, OOD and Safety. I did double my quota of OOD. The club is open all year. Thursday afternoon through to late evening, safety cover only.
